Isaac Oliver, Miniature Painter

Robert de Baudous

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper half of a man standing, with his right hand on his chest and his left hand holding a small circular object, possibly a medallion. The man has distinct facial features, a mustache, a pointed beard, dark wavy hair, and is dressed in an ornate vest with a detailed pattern. On the table in front of him are miniature portraits and an artist's palette with brushes. In the background, there is a landscape with buildings, hills, and sailboats in a body of water. The image is labeled as Isaac Oliver.
